Overview

This full-day guided bus tour lasts about eight hours and begins with hotel pickup and drop-off within San Juan's touristic zone and selected areas. The tour travels to El Yunque National Forest, where participants hike for approximately three and a half to four hours through rocky, muddy, and uneven terrain. The route includes a 25-30 minute hike with a brief river crossing before entering the forest outskirts. Travelers climb over rocks and trees to reach natural pools and waterfalls where they can swing from a rope or jump from cliffs. The tour continues with an advanced hike to higher natural pools featuring natural waterslides. Returning follows the same path, with the option to swim part of the way. The certified guide provides safety oversight and shares information about the only tropical rainforest in the US Forest System along with cultural and historical facts about Puerto Rico. Helmets, USCG certified lifejackets, and bottled water are included. After the forest visit, the group stops at a local restaurant for a late lunch, although food and drinks are not included in the price. The itinerary concludes with transportation back to San Juan or the original meeting point. The tour route was adjusted after hurricanes Irma and Maria due to trail closures but still offers water activities like cliff jumping, rope swinging, and natural waterslides.
